Finally yes Shinn planned for Kira destroying his mech. But that doesn\'t mean that Kira\'s outmanouvering and destroying the Impulse twice is any less impressive. Heck, when the Freedom blows at the end, it takes the Impulse\'s third form with it. Even in show it\'s not treated like a Curb Stomp. Shinn looks stunned that he won, and no one acts as though it weren\'t an incredibly difficult battle for him. That\'s why everyone is so impressed. Calling it a Curb Stomp arguably takes away from the level of Kira\'s accomplishment.

As for Kira running away, I\\\'d argue that takes away from it\\\'s status as a Curb Stomp. Kira isn\\\'t trying to fight. He\\\'s trying to get the Archangel out of ZAFT territory and then bail himself. He\\\'s got no interest in defeating Shinn and just wants to leave. He repeatedly gives up opportunities to go on the offensive in order to try and exit without having to kill anyone. Kira\\\'s objective from the start is not \\\"beat Shinn\\\" which should also count against it\\\'s status as a potential Curb Stomp.
